GAS BURNER.

Application filed May 18, 1923. Serial No. 639,946.

To all whom t may cos/wcm:

Be it known that I, ALBERT Vrssn, a citizen of the French Republic, residing in Paris, France, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gas Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved gas burner giving a more complete combustion of the gas with a maximum release of calories and consequently being very efficient.

With this obj ect the tube in which the gas mixes with the air is covered with a metallic socket containing a cylindrical block or disc of refractory material formed with a number of holes constituting vertical passages which assure a homogeneous mixing of the gas and air.

To prevent the flame passing back to the interior of the tube, two cylindrical blocks or discs may be employed, separated by a sheet of metal gauze of fine mesh.

The accompanying ,drawings given by way of example illustrate two ways of carrying out the invention.

In the accompanying drawing the figure is a vertical section through the urner embodying the present invention.

Having more particular reference to the drawing, in connection with which like characters of reference designate corresponding parts, the numeral l indicates the socket which is adapted to cap the tube or jet in which the gas' leaving the main pipe line meets with the supply of air. This socket is preferably made of metal in the form of a cylinder having its lower end opened and a rim 4 formed at the upper end thereof. Arranged within this socket are two superposed blocks or discs 5 and 6 which may be constructed of any refractory material, but a mixture of one-third of porcelain clay (kaolin) and two-thirds of ordinary clay gives satisfactory results. Each block is provided with a plurality of vertically extending openings 3 and when the blocks are placed in position within the socket, these openings extend in alignment so as to form a plurality of passage ways, through which the gas and air may pass to the atmosphere.

Arranged between these blocks is a sheet of gauze 7, which prevents the flame from passing back io the interior of the burner.

When the blocks and metal gauze 7 are 55 placed in position within the socket as shown in the drawing, the socket is then placed upon the gas tube and the rim 4 at the rtop of the socket prevents the blocks from being forced therefrom. The gas under pressure after being mixed with the supply of air is led to the interior of the socket so that it will pass through the passage ways or openings 3 in the blocks, where it is directed to the surface of the burner, and as the gas leaves the burner, it may be ignited.

I claim:

1. A gas burner comprising a socket, a plurality of perforated discs arranged within said socket and a sheet metal gauze Vseparating said dis.

2. A gas burner comprising a cylindrical metallic socket, a pair of blocks arranged in the upper ends of said socket, said blocks being formed of refractory material and having a plurality of vertically extending openings therein, and a sheet of metal gauze arranged between said blocks.

In witness whereof I aiiix my signature.

ALBERT VISSE.
